This programme explores how language, knowledge and society interact, with a particular focus on research using digital data. It trains students to work with the kinds of primary research material common in the humanities and social sciences—especially linguistic (texts) and visual (images) data—so you can investigate how discourse shapes and reflects cultural and social processes.
You will develop methodological competence for handling digital research datasets, learning approaches that both quantify (measure and categorise) and deepen understanding (explain and interpret) of communicative material. In response to the growing volume of digital sources, the course emphasizes methods that move beyond description to offer interpretive and evidence‑based explanations, preparing you for research roles where nuanced analysis of language and images is required.

Graduates are prepared for research and analytical roles that require expertise in digital data and discourse analysis. Typical career paths include research positions in academia and research institutions, roles in digital humanities and cultural heritage organisations, and analytical positions in public institutions, NGOs or private-sector companies that work with textual and visual data.
The programme’s combination of theoretical understanding and methodological skills also provides a solid foundation for PhD studies in linguistics, discourse studies, digital humanities or related fields.
